Operational Driving
Max Security’s operational and protective driving course is a unique course that is custom tailored to the client’s specific driving environment.

The Need:
At a time when acts of terror, kidnappings, random attacks and crime are all too frequent occurrences, one of the most significant elements in optimizing executive protection services is operational driving. In fact, most attacks on VIPs take place outside their protected environments and the majority of them take place while in their vehicles. Statistically, the chance of injury to a VIP or a security team from a car accident, either random or planned, is even greater than being a victim of a terror attack or kidnapping.
Today’s VIP drivers need to have a full professional tool set of abilities that includes driving capabilities but also security awareness methodologies, operational maintenance knowledge, detection of sabotage and more.
The Benefits:
This course provides the essential tools required by a security driver. An untrained driver in a security team is the weakest link. The course will transform an ordinary security driver into an essential, integrated resource in the security team – turning into an asset instead of a risk liability.
Course objectives:
• Enhance knowledge and skills about the vehicle capabilities and handling – A holistic view: The vehicle as an operational tool.
• Gain better control of the vehicle in emergency situations/ safety related
• Learn how to plan your route correctly in advance
• Learn new techniques of controlling the vehicle
• Enhance self confidence while driving
• Essential complementary skills:
- Respond efficiently and professionally when the VIP is under assault
